Craft brewers are usually tight on capital spending–especially when it comes to lab and quality assurance operations. UV-Vis spectrophotometry is a (relatively) cheaper option that most small- to mid-sized craft brewers can use effectively for quantifying a variety of analytes found throughout the brewing process. This webinar will provide common uses of the UV-Vis spectrophotometer in brewing applications and how it’s uniquely suited to helping the QA process in a small- to mid-sized craft brewery.

As an attendee, you will learn more about:

  • A brief overview of the brewing process
  • Identify key aspects of brewing chemistry in the process
  • How we utilize the UV-Spec for key analyses
  • How to identify which changes in the process to make from the data provided
